Intended for use in a semester-long course, the text features classroom-tested examples and exercises that have been chosen to emphasize the relevance and applicability of the subject to everyday life. Three themes are developed as the text proceeds from argument identification and analysis, to the standards and techniques of evaluation: (i) the importance of asking the right questions, (ii) the influence of biases, cognitive illusions, and other psychological factors, and (iii) the ways that social situations and structures can enhance and impoverish our thinking. On this last point, the text includes sustained discussion of disagreement, cooperative dialogue, testimony, trust, and social media. Overall, the text aims to equip readers with a set of tools for working through important decisions and disagreements, and to help them become more careful and active thinkers.10302021-08-02T14:41:46Z2024-02-06T19:53:41ZPrinciples of Social Psychology - 1st International Edition<img alt="Read more about Principles of Social Psychology - 1st International Edition" title="Principles of Social Psychology - 1st International Edition cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MjY4OCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--bcfabc53562aa87925963ed1342d9cad215ad574/OTB025-02-principles-of-social-psychology-1st-international-edition-2018-COVER-STORE-350x453.jpg" />Helping students organize their thinking about social psychology at a conceptual level.9232020-10-19T01:23:10Z2024-01-22T14:52:13ZGeneral Psychology for Honors Students<img alt="Read more about General Psychology for Honors Students" title="General Psychology for Honors Students cover image" class="cover " width="406" height="526" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTY1MSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--1e462fad7c3a6193f1169f948d75f66b17cbb136/General%20Psychology.PNG" />What are the most effective methods to study for a test? What are the meanings of dreams? How do illusions work? With whom are you most likely to fall in love? These are just a few of the questions that have been asked by psychologists since the birth of the field as an area of scientific research in the 1870’s. This text surveys the basic concepts, theories, and pivotal findings over the past 100 years in the science of Psychology, with special emphasis on contemporary concepts and findings focused on the relation of the brain to normal and pathological behaviors. Psychology has long evolved past the psychodynamic influence to include biological, social, learning, motivational, and developmental perspectives, to name a few. Contemporary psychologists go beyond philosophical or anecdotal speculation and rely on empirical evidence to inform their conclusions. Similarly, readers will push beyond pre-existing schemas and misconceptions of the field of psychology to an understanding of contemporary quantitative research methods as they are used to predict and test human behavior.9062020-08-14T04:48:46Z2024-03-25T13:31:53ZInterpersonal Communication: A Mindful Approach to Relationships<img alt="Read more about Interpersonal Communication: A Mindful Approach to Relationships" title="Interpersonal Communication: A Mindful Approach to Relationships cover image" class="cover " width="131" height="170" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTQwMSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--b5ea33ce7c09c7783ce65f1e1ab87178332597f8/ICcover-131x170.jpg" />Interpersonal Communication: A Mindful Approach to Relationships helps readers examine their own one-on-one communicative interactions using a mindfulness lens. The writing team of Jason S. Wrench, Narissra M. Punyanunt-Carter, and Katherine Thweatt incorporates the latest communication theory and research to help students navigate everyday interpersonal interactions. The 14 chapters in this book cover topics typically taught in an undergraduate interpersonal communication course: family interactions, interpersonal dynamics, language, listening, nonverbal communication, and romantic relationships, as well as exploring emerging areas such as self-compassion, body positivity, friendships, and “the dark side”. The writing takes on a purposefully informal tone to engage readers. Each chapter is broken into different sections that have unique instructional outcomes, key takeaways, and exercises, and concludes with real-world case studies and sample quiz questions. Also included is an extensive glossary with over 350 definitions.8802020-07-11T18:05:30Z2024-01-22T14:52:10ZHuman Behavior and the Social Environment I<img alt="Read more about Human Behavior and the Social Environment I" title="Human Behavior and the Social Environment I cover image" class="cover " width="334" height="498" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTI0MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--cc5587f1b58885bd04c87d83cdb7c9734a73c8ab/Screenshot%20from%202020-07-11%2013-02-08.png" />That’s what we are here to find out – Human Behavior and the Social Environment (HBSE) – How do they connect? How does it shape us? Why do we think and feel the way we do? This will be explored throughout this course by examining human behavior throughout life stage developments and our interactions with the social environment. This course will explore theoretical perspectives in Social Work to help provide a foundation for organizing thoughts about client needs and issues they are seeking supports for. Theories will then be connected to important developmental, social, and cultural issues that present throughout each stage of life to create an overall picture of a client’s experience and how we can use this information to have a better understanding of how people we work with are influenced and why. Knowledge of typical development in each stage of life will also inform the Social Worker if any other supports, resources, or services may be needed.
